the most extreme version of this would be something like what we saw senator john mccain do on republicans' health care bill last summer which is to vote against a major piece of legislation for reasons that at least publicly he claimed were about the process. senators can object to unanimous consent requests, work together in committee to stall, though not prevent nominations coming to the floor, etc. the point is, if senators wanted to try to send a signal to leaders that they don't like the chamber is working, they have tools to do that. the issue for me is by andlarge i think senators don't necessarily care as much about changing the way the senate works as they do about getting policy done that's close to their own preferences they can get. take here the experience from last year involving the tax bill and health care bill. both pieces of legislation moved the senate on a quick party line process with little deliberation. if senators truly objected to that leadership driven process, they could have threatened to withhold votes until they golt -- they got what they wanted. assume for a

congressional districts split between john mccain and the democrats two years ago. there are 48 districts going into november's elections where mccain one, a but -- but voters voted democratic. republicans have already won 36 out of the 48. just think of that. there was a reservoir of republican district represented by a democrat where republican voters had voted democratic. two years later, the same republican -- republican voters said, i get up. i am voting republican. some of these democrats they had voted for only recently. these are republicans who voted for the democrats. often they voted just the way the district wanted. but they said, we are sorry. we want to change washington. we have to change washington and that means you are opposed. goodbye. we have seen this before. we saw this in the example i have already used. a congressman from iowa who represented a moderate to liberal district in iowa. i believe it included the university of iowa. they reelected him. he was a typical liberal democrat. he wore a sweater under his jacket. he was a college professor
